Community consultation held last year saw a desire for more publicly available information about water ownership and we are asking the community to help us fill in the gaps on what this information should be. Thank you to those who filled in the previous survey, your contributions are being used to improve transparency in Victoria's water markets.
We are now conducting further consultation to ask water users and irrigators about what details they are comfortable sharing to ensure the correct balance between transparency and privacy has been struck. Please head to https://engage.vic.gov.au/water-market-transparency to fill in a short survey, it should only take 5 minutes.
The Victorian Government is committed to listening to the views of irrigators, and will incorporate those views into the final report, so that Victorian irrigators can feel confident that future Victorian Government policy will reflect their views on water market transparency.
If you would like to discuss transparency further please email the project team at Water.Market.Transparency@delwp.vic.gov.au
